Administration

Student use of Computer Resources

All students must act responsibly and comply with local, state, and federal laws relating to copyright, security, and electronic media.

All students must make certain that their computer is secured against viruses, worms, hacker attacks, and other intrusions. Further, students are responsible for all uses of their computer and will be held accountable for network traffic originating at their computer or traced back to their computer's IP number (Internet address).

All students must be available on the Texas A&M University-Texarkana e-mail service and read e-mail in a timely manner. Faculty will send e-mail with important information about classes, and the administration, including the Office of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, will send messages with timely, sometimes critical, announcements. These messages are sent to the “ace.tamut.edu” e-mail address assigned to each student.
